Big Food sells us what makes us sick, and Big Pharma sells us their treatment for it. Rather than paying for a longer life, we should regulate harmful product industries so they don't profit from shortening it.

Good luck to everyone sitting day 1 of the @fphuk.bsky.social DFPH exam today! This exam (previously called Part A) is sat over 2 days and requires both a wide breadth and depth of public health knowledge, with months of prep and revision building up to this day. We wish everyone sitting it well! 🤞🍀

What's the outlook for living standards in 2025? Disposable incomes are set to fall across low-, middle- and high-income families alike. But improvements in public services will help to boost broad living standards for some.

Public services matter for living standards

Some poorer households should see marginal gains in their living standards

But incomes for those at the very bottom are set to stagnate

Higher-income households also face a tough outlook

Today some of our public health registrars are sitting their MFPH exam - a practical, role-play based "show how" exam of applied skills and knowledge. Good luck everyone!!! Remember: you know your stuff, the examiners want you to do well, this is just a chance to show them how brilliant you are!

Would the public rather the government prioritise spending on access to care in the community, or hospitals? Polling by @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social and @healthfoundation.bsky.social said they'd rather community services. Read more public opinions of the plans for health & care. buff.ly/4kbdQNd

It's Public Health Winter School today, where the focus is on working in a political environment. The day has opened with reflections from Professor Peter Kelly (Regional Director for Public Health in the North East and Yorkshire) on the importance of gaining consensus across the political spectrum.
